Im not sure if its the sertraline or not, am on day18 , but i woke up in a panic with racing heart at 0330 and have been extremely agitated all day long. My heart is beating between 100-145 depending on the waves of terror and im terrified. I feel so so terrified and actually cant keep still. I took a sleeping tablet at about 5 to try and calm me back to sleep but i woke again after an hour with the heart racing still.
Ive tried walking my dogs, twice for over an hour each time and mowed our gardens which is a big job, but still i cannot relax and be still. Im typing this on my phone as i pace. Ive spoken to nhs direct and they were kind but of no real help. My hubby is trying to support me but its hard as the kids are all worried too now. I confessed to him earlier that i dont want to live, which was a relief to say it out in the open, but i know that i will not act on this, i just want to be well again and not feel this way.
We are waiting for a call back from the on call dr service to see what they can do.
I have never ever felt so anxious for so long...thought adrenaline burnt itself out!
